The test result and next steps

You need to get at least 15 out of 20 questions correct to pass the test.

Once you submit the test, the result page will immediately display your score. This score is

• temporary
• not your official test result

Within your 30-day test period, you also have up to 3 chances to take the test.

• If you fail the first time, you can try again 2 more times to pass.
• To do your second or third test attempt, you must sign in to the online test again.

If you pass the test, we’ll do the following in the upcoming months:

• review and confirm your official test result
• contact you with your next steps

Your test result may be invalid if

• we find or suspect cheating
• you didn’t take a photo of your personal identification (ID)
• a technical issue prevents us from confirming your identity
  • For example, if we cannot see you through your webcam.

For more information, find out what to expect after you take the test.
